Police determine missing actor Lawrence Street is safe

On July 13, at 0030 hours, Ms. Goodrich and Ms. Jones provided a written statement and other documentation detailing additional information about Mr. Street. On July 13, at approximately 0100 hours, the officer telephoned Mr. Street’s sister and left a message at a New Jersey area code. On July 13 at about 0800 hours, the assigned detective spoke with Mr. Street’s sister. She did not know his current whereabouts nor had she heard from him.

On July 13, at 0045 hours, the officer again called Mr. Street’s telephone and found the message box open, and a different (outgoing) message. The message was, “Friends and family – I am safe and I’m just going to get some help.” The officer telephoned Ms. Morrow, who said she had heard the new message and believed it was probably Mr. Street’s voice.

The officer did a CCIC IFIND and determined that Mr. Street had been queried by the Denver P.D. at 0029 and 0042 hours on July 13. The officer telephoned Denver P.D. requesting information, and requested that the query officers contact him. As of 0200 hours, Denver P.D. had not contacted the officer.

On July 12, the case was assigned to a detective who conducted his investigation in addition to the work done by the patrol officers. In summary, the detective’s follow-up is much the same as already detailed.

On July 13, at 0700, hours the detective telephoned Mr. Street and spoke with a person who identified himself as Mr. Street. Mr. Street said he was safe and was staying at a motel on Colorado Boulevard in Denver. Following the telephone call, the detective contacted the Denver Police Department, who arrived at the motel at 0820 hours and determined that Mr. Street had checked out at 0800 hours. The manager said the occupant matched Mr. Street’s description and checked in showing identification of Lawrence Street.

The Louisville Police Department believes that Mr. Street went to and stayed in Denver of his own volition. Our investigation continues and this case remains active until we personally meet with Mr. Street.

Update: On July 13, at 1030 hours, Mr. Street was interviewed by a Denver Police Officer who determined that Mr. Street has willingly been in Denver since July 9, and he is safe. While in direct contact with the Denver officer, Mr. Street telephoned the Louisville police detective and confirmed that he is OK.

The Louisville Police Department has closed the missing person case, and no further action is anticipated.

The freedom of movement and the right to travel are at the core of this Country’s liberties, and the government should not abridge peoples’ right to be alone or to “go missing” when they are of reasonably sound mind. Even though Mr. Street sought to be and had the right to be apart from his friends and colleagues, the Louisville Police Department launched an all out full court press to locate him. His friends were justly concerned and based upon their compassion a lot of time and resources were invested before Mr. Street was confirmed to be okay. Notwithstanding the cheap shots from far away blogging detractors who had not a clue how much effort was being put into this case, the resources were not wasted, and we are happy that Mr. Street is where he wants to be.

Glad he’s OK, but I was a crew member at the South Pacific Revival on Broadway the entire 2.5 years it ran and he was not in it. Perhaps they meant a different show? I checked out his name on ibdb.com and Urinetown shows up, but the only other “Broadway” credit was a concert version of Chess.

And now I’ve read his bio on the website of the theater company he is working for in CO. It says he was in a concert version of South Pacific at Carnegie Hall. Dear Mr. Moore, performing at Carnegie Hall, while a lovely thing, is not “performing on Broadway.”

Haha, Staciabird, he pads his resume, and I’m the bad guy? That came straight from the Colorado Repertory Theatre press release (but good job busting him):
Louisville,
Colo. – June 22, 2011 –
This summer Louisville will play host to two popular Broadway stars,
Margaret Ann Gates (Miss
Saigon, The King and I)
and Lawrence Street (Urinetown,
South Pacific). Gates and Street are coming to direct and choreograph
The Wizard of Oz, the debut
production for Colorado’s newest professional summer theatre company, The
Colorado Repertory Theater.

I hope he’s alright given that no officer saw him face to face, only spoke to someone who identified himself as Street. Someone who the motel manager said fit Street’s description had checked out. Odd that Street would call two police departments claiming to be safe yet no one saw him.
